Longhorns Daily News: As we hype Texas’ Quinn Ewers era, let’s remember the Alamo

Gather around, Texas Longhorns fans. Let’s take a look back into history.

If you’re from Texas – or at least educated here at any point during your middle school scholarship – you probably remember the story of the Alamo. It’s our “national” battlecry.

You probably also remember the story doesn’t have a very happy ending.

That’s the nuance we should approach the 2022 college football season with. And while Texas’ offense will have its own glorious moments – despite injuries, the talent is still there – it’s our defense we should keep an open mind to going into a bounce-back campaign.
